The door to Draco's dorm shut behind me and my heart was racing. My vision blurred from tears and I couldn't breathe. My mind was going a million miles a minute and somehow I forced myself to move. My feet were going somewhere and I didn't know where. Then, the next thing I knew, I was standing in front of Theo's dorm. I knocked on the door as tears fell down my cheeks. I forced the air into my lungs and tried to slow my breathing. A few seconds passed and I knocked again. "Theo!" I yelled. Another minute passed and the door opened to reveal an out of breath Theo. That's when I realized it.
His shirt was gone and he was in his boxers. His hair was tousled and his lips were swollen. My heart stopped. "Belle, what's wrong?" he asked. I just stared at him. "Belle, talk to me." he said. I glanced past him and my heart sank. Astoria was laying in his bed. The sheet was pulled up over her body and her hair was messy. A pit formed in my stomach and I wiped my tears. "I- I'm sorry. I didn't mean to interrupt." I said. He looked back and his face fell. "Belle- it's not- we were just-" he started. "I should go." I said quickly. I turned to leave. "Belle, wait!" he called out. I rushed out and ran back to Gryffindor. When I got back, there was a party going on in the common room. Ginny was dancing on a table and people were drunk. I went straight to my dorm and locked the door. I don't do parties. Not anymore. I started to unpack and get ready for bed. Then I showered and I got dressed.

Then I heard a knock. I was hesitant. I went to the door and pressed my ear to the wood. "Who's there?" I asked. "Anna, it's me." the voice said. "Who?" I asked. "Harry." he said. I opened the door and he stood there. He looked at me with confusion. "Can I come in?" he asked. "Are you drunk?" I asked. His face faltered. "Fucking hell, Anna. No. And even if I was, it wouldn't matter because I would never hurt you." he said. My cheeks burned and I opened the door all the way. He came in and I shut it. "You seriously thought-" he started. "I'm sorry. I just- I get nervous." I said. He nodded. "It's ok. I understand." he said. I gave a nod. "I just wanted to make sure you were alright. Neville said when you came in, you were crying." he said. I sighed. "I'm fine." I said. "What happened?" he asked. "Nothing." I mumbled. He sighed. "Anna, I know you've been through a lot. I know you have no reason to trust anyone. But you're my sister. I don't care who your parents are, you are my sister. I'm here for you." he said. "I know." I said quietly. "We used to tell eachother everything. I knew everything about you and you knew everything about me. Now I don't know where you are half the time." he said. "I'm sorry, Harry." I said. "Don't be. It's my fault too. I didn't know how to help you so I just let you push me away. But I can't lose anyone else. So talk to me." he said. I nodded. "Theo and I ended things." I said. His face fell. "But you loved him. And he loved you." he said. "He did. But I fell far. Too far. I pushed him away too and it wasn't fair to make him stay. So I gave him an out and he took it." I said. "He might come back. If you get better, if you stop drinking and-" he started. "He's with Astoria now." I said. "Oh." Harry said quietly. "I get it. She beautiful. And she is fun and happy and not broken. He deserves someone like that." I said. Harry nodded. "You're a good person, Anna. Letting him go wasn't easy but you did it. That shows that maybe you aren't as broken as you think." he said. I smiled. "Maybe." I said.
THEODORE NOTT When she left, I sighed. She came to me for help. She needed me and she wanted to feel better instead of just giving up. This is what I wanted. I wanted her to try. And she is. I saw her eating at dinner. I saw her ask Enzo to help her calm down on the train. She's trying. I was wracked with guilt. I wish she didn't see Astoria. I sat back down on the bed and Astoria began kissing me. "Is she alright?" she asked as she kissed down my neck. "I think so," I said. "Good." she said. She kissed every inch of my body as her hands rubbed up and down my back, trying to relax me. "Don't feel bad, Theo. She gave up. That's not your fault." she said. "I gave up too. It wasn't only her." I said. "No, I know. I just mean, sometimes things don't work out. It's just the way it is." she said. I just nodded. She reached down into my boxers and began to stroke my cock. I exhaled heavily and she smiled. I laid back and Astoria climbed on top of me, riding my cock. But everytime I closed my eyes, I saw Anna. Then Astoria fell asleep next to me but I never did.
